The Friedmans' eggs hatched today!!!
For your viewing pleasure, I present, little Friedman Junior #1.

I didn't expect the eggs to hatch until tomorrow so I went in the loft to switch the Friedmans' eggs for the two infertile eggs under my fosters (a pair of hens, unconventional, I know, but they happened to pair up and lay the same day as the Budas. They sat religiously and after getting the OK from another breeder, I thought, what the heck - let the 2 hens foster!).
Imagine my surprise when Mrs. Friedman stood up and there were two little babies!!!! So my friend told me to switch just one baby tonight, see how the hens do with feeding. If they do good, I can give them both babies. If not, I give Jr. back to the Budas then take over in 5 or 6 days when they can no longer successfully feed them. (The short-faced Budas can't feed beyond the pigeon milk)
I'm ready, willing, and able to hand-feed so it's no problem.
ANYWAY. I hope you like the pic! (Daryl especially!!! Look what you're in for!!!)
Best,

Here's The Duchess (WOE Tumbler) and Sylvie (Classic Old Frill) trying to figure out how their egg suddenly turned into a little squiggly squab!! Look at how tiny!
